I was just looking at the Au Tiger for sale on ebay and something caught my eye, well more than one, I guess. And no I am ot going to pick on this car because I do not know of its provenance. However

To me, "fully restored" speaks to the extent of the restoration, not to it's originality. It says that everything is restored, rebuilt or replaced to like-new condition and that the body was probably

My note may have mis-interpreted... I don't think there's anything wrong with any level of restoration. I have 5 Sunbeams and Jensens... only the Tiger is "fully restored". I just tend to be very pre

But, here is where semantics may come into play. I think of you car as being "reconditioned", not restored. To restore something to me says like the way it came, neither better nor worse. Recondition

"Reconditioned" sounds too much like something you'd find on a used car lot.. you know, "certified pre-owned." It sure doesn't reflect the extreme level of detail and quality that went into my car as

Stephen's car to me is a "restification" (restoration/modification) or resto-mod if you like. It's a super nice car but deviates from original. I think certain sacrifices have to be made such as selt

I'm good with "restification", though "resto-mod" is being used quite a bit by the broad car collector community. I think the term "frame-off" is mistakely used when they mean rotisserie (perhaps bec

regarding the last comment..."where do you draw the line?" This is exactly what I was/am curious about. Again, would the multi gazillion dollar Dusenberg benefit from a safety upgrade to the brakes?

My Tiger is maintained as close to the original as I can do it. The tires are radial, the exhaust is S/S. I believe it is more difficult to retain originality than to modify. My last significant expe

But is it the correct definition? Or just an opinion? Where is the line for what restored means? By the way, I like the definition also, but still is it correct. Could this car go to Pebble Beach as

You have touched the nexus of the classic car owner's dilemma. What to change, and why. Your tire issue has most likely been settled long ago when bias belt tires practically stopped being made, (I

Same is true for my Jensen Interceptor. In the 10+ years I've owned it, I've kept it unrestored, all original, right down to the LearJet 8-track player. The only departure so far was that I had to ma

To steal from an earlier post, value is in the eye of the beholder, and recent auction prices on resto-mods suggest that buyers are starting to value quality modifcations as much or more than origina
